RESOLUTION

Supporting the designation of the week of September 15 through 
September 19, 2025, as ``National Clean Energy Week''.

Whereas, across the United States, clean and readily abundant forms of energy 
are powering more homes and businesses than ever before;
Whereas clean energy generation is readily available from zero- and low-
emissions sources;
Whereas the clean energy sector is a growing part of the economy and has been a 
key driver of economic growth in the United States in recent years;
Whereas technological innovation can further reduce costs, enhance reliability, 
and increase deployment of clean energy sources;
Whereas the report of the Department of Energy entitled ``U.S. Energy & 
Employment Report 2025'' found that, at the end of 2024, the energy and 
energy efficiency sectors in the United States employed approximately 
8,500,000 individuals;
Whereas the scaling of affordable and exportable clean energy is essential to 
reducing global emissions;
Whereas clean energy jobs are inherently local, contribute to the growth of 
local economies, and cannot be outsourced due to the onsite nature of 
construction, installation, and maintenance;
Whereas innovative clean energy solutions and clean energy jobs are part of the 
energy future of the United States; and
Whereas September 15 through September 19, 2025, should be considered ``National 
Clean Energy Week'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) expresses support for the designation of ``National 
Clean Energy Week'';
(2) encourages individuals and organizations across the 
United States to support commonsense solutions that address the 
economic, environmental, and energy needs of the United States 
in the 21st century;
(3) applauds the work of the Department of Energy National 
Laboratories in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, 
New Mexico, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, Hawaii, 
Alaska, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, 
New Jersey, and New York;
(4) encourages the Federal Government, States, 
municipalities, and individuals to invest in affordable, clean, 
and low-emitting energy technologies;
(5) supports reliable and affordable energy for Americans; 
and
(6) recognizes the role of entrepreneurs and small 
businesses in ensuring the energy leadership of the United 
States in the global marketplace and supporting low-cost, 
clean, and reliable energy in the United States.
